“Vehicle pollution needs to be controlled. We used to come at 6 a.m. for a morning walk, but now we start arriving at 5 a.m. while the pollution level is low. The public must be vigilant and switch to CNG and electric vehicles The government is taking action, but public awareness is also important, “said Anil Sharma.

Another city resident said that if the even-pair rule were imposed in the national capital, it would certainly reduce the level of pollution.
“Stubble burning is another source of pollution here … pollution increases during the night hours. The Delhi government has started a new campaign to turn off the engines at red lights, but I don’t think it will help reduce the level of contamination “. “he added.
“Pollution has become a reality for the people of Delhi, they have to learn to live with it. Pollution is part of modernization, but people should be smart enough to help reduce pollution here. These masks now they are part of our lives that will also save us from pollution, “said another resident.
A cyclist, Shubham Bhadoria, near the India Gate, said that compared to other places in Delhi, people witness a low level of pollution in this area due to the vegetation.
“I experience shortness of breath when I ride my bike. The level of pollution is surely increasing,” he added.
Another cyclist, Pawan, said: “I basically came here to get fit and stay healthy. Pollution levels have increased here due to stubble burning, but before that we used to see clear skies here.”
